Re: Want Insight Into Industry Salaries? Check Out This Careers Guide

I found the results from the Kudor occupational testing series was a great starting point to college. Opal prospecting is the life you live more than what it gives you in return. More live "off" them mining than "from" opals bought directly. I like the 999999 work classification....
